Abstract

This study divided 409 local residents in G city of Gyeongsangbuk-do into urban area and rural area, and analyzed the satisfaction with using public health center. The subjects of this study were 284 people who had experience using public health centers among 409 people. In rural areas, satisfaction with general care, oriental care, dental care, physical therapy, examination, and vaccination was low. To improve this, it is necessary to expand and improve facilities so that smooth public health services can be provided to local residents. It is necessary to implement health care policies to resolve medical inequality between urban areas and rural areas.

이 연구는 경상북도 G시의 지역주민 409명을 대상으로 도심지역과 농촌지역으로 구분하여 보건소 이용에 대한 만족도와 지역주민에게 필요한 건강사업을 분석하기 위하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 409명의 대상자 중 보건소를 이용한 경험이 있는 284명을 대상으로 보건소 진료에 관한 만족도를 분석하였으며, 일반진료, 한방진료, 치과진료, 물리치료, 검사, 예방접종 등 모든 분야에서 농촌지역의 만족도가 현저히 낮게 나타났다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 지역주민에게 원활한 공공의료서비스가 제공 될 수 있도록 시설 확충 및 개선이 필요하며, 도심지역과 농촌지역 간의 의료 불평등 해소를 위한 보건의료정책을 펼쳐나가야 할 것 이다.
